Bálint Csörgő completed his Ph.D. at the Biological Research Centre in Szeged, Hungary focusing on bacterial strain engineering for synthetic biology purposes. He next joined the Pál Lab at the same institute and continued working on the development of high-throughput genome engineering methodologies in a variety of bacteria. With the support of an MSCA Global Fellowship, he subsequently worked in the Bondy-Denomy Lab at the University of California, San Francisco and the Steinmetz Lab at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg working on CRISPR-Cas-based gene-editing technologies. He returned to Hungary and established his own research group in 2023, focusing on the co-evolutionary relationship between pathogenic bacteria and bacteriophages.
